9 Ruthless Decluttering Rules the Old Farmhouse Used to Clear an Entire House in 48 Hours

When my mother passed, my sister and I cleared her whole farmhouse, seventy years of living, in one weekend before the auction. We could do it because she had been following nine rules her whole life without ever calling them rules. None of them cost a dollar, and the first one is about the storage bins you already own. You do not need to do all nine this weekend. Open one drawer tonight, give it ten minutes, and stop while you can still think straight.
